They probably feel like they’re fucked either way and have nothing going for them. That makes it easier to side with the dude spouting hate. If I was that age I’d probably be in the same boat as them because being angry and hateful feels good and it took me a while to get that under control. I certainly didn’t have any actual hope things would improve after this election but I did vote for Kamala because she at least wasn’t spouting hateful shit. Not that it helped because I live in a dark red district. If there hadn’t been an abortion amendment on the ballot I’d have probably skipped this one.

LMAO. Cope harder. The fact that this race was close at all just shows how much of a joke they are.

If only Kamala hadn’t been taking all her political queues from MataVatnik everything would be different now.

You think Trump is going to stop genocide?

Biden could do some official acts. But he won’t.

It’s definitely a good thing. If someone wants to be on the popular platform go back to Reddit or Twitter. That’s what most people want. The Fediverse is the minority that wants something different.

Fix the problems that fascists use to make people feel threatened by “others”. For instance you can’t make people worried about immigrants taking their jobs if there’s plenty of jobs or losing your job didn’t mean your life was fucked.

1. Disband HOA

2. Let it go to seed with native plants.

Should have been dragged out in chains and prosecuted for treason.

Hey! The US has been genociding people way longer than that. Give them some credit.

I’d buy an electric one. I don’t need to haul a trailer or anything huge.

Cool, now bring back single cab light trucks with full length beds.

Probably my earliest memory of interacting with someone outside my family was when I was in an Easter egg hunt and being a little kid somehow managed to drop all my eggs. Another kid stopped what he was doing to help me pick them up. I don’t know why but that stuck in my head and I think it’s influenced how I’ve treated people throughout my life.

Yeah agreed, I know so many people that were pushed off the fence by the gun issue. There’s much bigger fish to fry and I think if people felt more secure financially and had access to healthcare they’d be more open to the gun discussion because they wouldn’t constantly have that “I’m in danger” feeling going on in the back of their mind. Although there’s a big set of gun owners who are just never going to budge on that issue.

I am voting but I could throw my president vote right in the trash and it’d have the same effect thanks to the electoral college. The local shit I’m voting on will potentially have a bigger impact.

I’m older than you but otherwise the same. Seems like everything is going in the wrong direction thanks to corpos trying to wring as much money as possible out of it rather than making it as useful to people as possible.

This is why you have conversations about the weird shit you want to do before you get married.

I started playing X4 last weekend and was able to hyper-fixate on it for almost an entire day. It’s been like a year since I was able to do that on anything. It was nice to get my mind off shit for a while.

I live in a basement and it was dark enough I had to turn the lights on a 4:30 yesterday. That was depressing.

I get it. I’m the same way about instant mashed potatoes because that’s what my grandma always made and that’s just how mashed potatoes should be (to me). Not a fan of real ones really the texture is just off. I can’t speak to pancakes because I can’t think of any pancakes I’ve ever had that really stand out from any others but it could be something like that. Pancakes certainly don’t seem to be worth arguing over to me.
